There are ones available. Look in the classifieds on here I think there is still one in there for $400.00. There more of a custom piece than an aluminum one.
Search the forum for this because a few months ago there was a post about this, and a website that offered carbon fiber driveshafts for stangs, but I dont remember the site. All I remember is that when I went to the site to look at them, they were really expensive, like over $750. Good luck finding it man.
Carbon fiber drive-shaft for F-bodies is a weight savings of like 7.5lbs over stock...but they're only 2.5lbs lighter than aluminum... Is it worth an extra $500 for a savings of 2.5lbs of rotating mass/weight? Probably not. I mean saving the motor pounds of weight to turn, is worth alot to me, for over-all vehicle weight, and for less stress on the motor while helping more of those ponies reach the tires through the driveline. But if the carbon fiber one weighs like 4-5lbs less than the aluminum one, then yeah I might think about the investment. I don't know off the top of my head how much a motorsport alum. drive-shaft weighs. I'll have to hit up this need-4-speed site and do some homework. Thanks for the input fella's!
I like to think of it as part of a whole... like you can't just do heads on a motor, and get the most out of them. You need cams, and exhaust and intake to compliment the heads. The drive shaft is a part of the drive-line...its a compliment of that system which transfers the horsepower to the ground. Thats just the way I justify it to myself and my wallet!
